Acute leukaemia of infancy is associated with abnormalities at chromosome band 11q23, and has a poor prognosis. The gene involved, Mixed Lineage Leukaemia (MLL), has been identified and has the characteristics of a transcription factor, The BCL-2 gene responsible for blocking of programmed cell death is highly expressed in a number of haematological malignancies, both with and without the t(14;18) translocation. Those without the translocation include acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). In these diseases the BCL-2 protein is implicated in drug resistance to apoptosis-inducing chemotherapeutic agents. High BCL-2 expression is also associated with autonomous growth of leukaemic blasts in culture and predicts a poor prognosis, The SEM cell line, established using blood lymphoblasts from a 5-year-old girl in first relapse with. t(4;11) ALL, expresses lymphoid (CD19) and myeloid (CD13) cell surface markers. In cell culture, a subpopulation of cells (
